KL/PJ kaki???

Hi, I am new here and to LYN as well. Actually not new because I have been a phantom reader of this thread for several months, just newly registered. Through your posts I think I have developed a love-hate feeling towards the Pug although I haven't booked one. Love it since 407 and mainly because you fellows speak of it with so much respect and some adoration. But hate it for the unexplained minor problems experienced by some owners. Unexplained because dunno why it happened but relieved to know all cases are rectified.

Some years ago I was attracted to 407 - just purely aesthetics but look no further because I was happy with my Vios. Then I heard negative comments from friends (please note none of them own a Pug, not even now) so I flushed Pug out of my mind. This year, I get more serious about changing car, so went round window shopping - naturally Honda and Toyota was in the radar but I explored other makes Ford, Nissan, Mitsubishi. Most times I read reviews first before actual touch and feel - narrowed my search to Mitsubishi ASX the 2WD. Budget was 120k max. But didn't like the interior, so didn't pursue further.

Don't know why but was drawn back to Pug like some heartstring pulling. So started reading again, hence following this thread. I am almost there - my choice is 408 NA Blue (mid-age comfort priority) but don't know why still holding back. Perhaps hoping someone here will push me over the cliff and shout "Just Do It" or waiting for that warning sign "STOP".

Good grief, really feel like old granny buying sports car

LOL. Phantom reader part.



I owned the 408 NA for almost 2 years now, no major issue but the battery lasting 1 year or less (quoting for my own experience) is such a nuisance but then again, I have my radio/player on 99.9% of the time with air cond blasting all the time of coz.

To save the bat juice, i have resorted to have auto wiper/auto lights off, but not sure if it really help much.

so far many things are quite normal including the service cost. change tyres at 40k km, only change one burnt head lights (about 2 weeks back). my only 'almost a complain' is the 4 speeder transmission (i blame it solely for the higher FC and the slower century sprint). i wish i'd have the 6 speeder from 408 Turbo all the time.
I can live with the 'shorter' wiper at driver side still.

Speaking of which have you tried test drive Renault Fluence? what is your thought?

I have and some how still i will take a Pug 408 over Renault Fluence at any given day and strange enough the only part i wish from Fluence is the 6 speed CVT.

My wife bought Mitsubishi ASX 2WD just about 2 months ago and ASX is not a bad car per se and has its own merits but I would have wanted a auto cruise button in that car and perhaps better built/assembly work quality (doors are too light and does not close neat sometimes if you are too gentle), though having leather seat but no rear air cond vent! , and that puny boot space. But she has wanted a SUV at a very low entry price, so we end up having ASX in the house, and two 2.0s in the house

Driving a Pug gives you a sense or rather a level of satisfaction that you can't get from driving a local nor Japanese nor Korean (which all I have owned before), it is just that nice fuzzy feeling in your chest like you are in love

Btw, i am over 40 too

Wifey loves the 3008, me too but not willing to spend so much now

Yup , my wife was looking at the pre face lifted 3008 too and took it out for a spin but that price , now new face lifted is selling at 154k,

anyway Pug actually took Mitsubishi ASX and make it into these two-Pug 4008 and Citroen C4 Aircross,

According to a Pug service tech, the 4008 is coming soon. Dont know if this is true though.

Agreed on the fuzzy feeling. Maybe they put some kind of drug in the ventilation system?

I was also like you. Maybe just age difference I own a Vios. Using it for about 9yrs. Serve me well and did a good job at it too. I got my Pug during CNY this year. I did alot of research like yourself too. Test drive MANY cars. Even recond as well. To me, the decision was made coz of overall balance. I choose 408T Griffe coz it was to most well balance car of the lot. There are alot of cars out there that performance better, looks better, etc etc. But if you think about it, RM128k, it is really helping you stretch your dollars. Fact is, i am driving a continental car (brand new) at that price. It may not score 8-9/10 in one particular category, such as resale value, but when you combine all the categories, the final score would make 8-9/10. This is just my humble 2 cents and what was going through my mind when i made the decision.

Choice is yours mate. Go test drive more. Do like 3-4 drives a day in difference cars in your list.

Last month SA at Seremban branch offered 3008 at $132K,clearance price for preface lift. His name is Yong, 016 3474488.

I drove the test car. Impressed with the handling, very little body roll. Nice torque from the engine. Love the sporty interior.

As you said, all problems have been successfully rectified. I can tell you most of the problems were QC issues. So we do know why, but the most important point is that they have been solved. I would be very concerned if I have to make repeated trips to SC and the issue keeps reappearing! In that respect 408NA or THP has been great to own!

You STOP, looked & now I'd say, go get your Lion!

Guys, recently i found out 2 things!!!

1st, the new 408 has rear fog lamp (the one located at the bottom of the rear bumper) on both side =.=

2nd, 5008 is very sexy.

Bye and out.

4008 will not be coming in Msia.
Mitsubishi prohibited it.

Err.... ur post make me laugh. Hahaa
Btw, our rear fog lamp one side only, left. Dont mistake if the right side is burnt.

Bro, the new one have both side. Saw it in KD SC. One of the 408 got lifted up and I saw it. New 408 owner, please clarify.

~~LOL. I didnt even know there is. Hahahahahahha. There is so many things about this car which i dont even know. Recently only know the a compartment box got aircon. Hahahahha. Will check it out.....

Yup..its started with Griffe. For those own car after griffe batch will get rear fog light for both side. for those batch 3 onwards, the wiring is there. so you can install the right fog light by yourself. its just pasang dan main..

i put haagan daz into the glove box but not cold enough.

i tak tau mine is which batch liao
